La nascita della Clapton Stratocaster
Una delle rarissime Clapton Stratocaster del 1987, di Andrew Kastner, la primissima versione, riconoscibile subito per i suoi 21 tasti e per lo switch rimosso nelle successive versioni. Purtroppo il logo del Custom Shop è saltato via; il neck plate porta il seriale che inizia per "V" proprio come le Vintage Reissue che rappresentano la base di partenza di questa chitarra.
